Frozen versions make it easy to enjoy delicious fries at home. Two additional ingredients, pecorino cheese and black pepper (cacio e pepe!), easily elevate these. Make sure to sprinkle the cheese as soon as the fries come out of the oven so it melts in the residual heat and sticks to the fries. Crinkle or waffle fries have grooves that will also help the cheese adhere.
